Chapter 89 Jumping off a building
There were too many people, and Sheng Ting was afraid that Chu Shuang would be squeezed out, so he found a hotel and took her to the attic.
This hotel is a large building in the center of Folk Street. Only customers who want to spend money can enter, and the management is strict, so unlike other buildings where several floors are occupied by tourists.
The seats on the three floors below were full, so we went straight to the fourth floor. Although this seat was a bit higher, the view over the performing team below was not bad, and it was much better than being squeezed downstairs.
Lion and dragon dances, stilt walking, and swaying sedan chairs are all performed every year and we never get tired of watching them.
Chu Shuang sat in her seat and watched the performance attentively, while Sheng Ting ordered a few dishes.
"Should we call my aunt and ask them to come over to our place?"
"Can."
After we got through on the phone, the person on the other end said they had found a great viewing spot, so we went there to watch alone.
Sheng Ting ordered crispy fish, thousand-li dried meat, crispy pork elbow, and several soups and cold dishes. When the dishes came, Chu Shuang smiled helplessly, "Why did you order so much for two people?"
"I was thinking of asking your aunt and her family to come over, but since they're not coming, we can just eat together."
As expected of a big hotel in a central location, every dish was cooked to perfection, especially the crispy fish with crispy bones. Chushuang thought it was delicious and kept putting some into Shengting’s bowl.
“Try it, it’s really delicious.”
I was eating and watching the show at the same time, but I didn’t know which one to choose.
Looking at the crowds of people on the long street downstairs, Chushuang sighed that this year was too lively. He casually glanced towards the building opposite and saw that there were many people on every floor.
Just as he was about to take a piece of crispy pork elbow, a corner of the scene he had just seen flashed in his mind, and Chushuang suddenly raised his head.
Sheng Ting noticed her action and looked over.
I saw a man standing on the roof of the building opposite.
The rooftop terrace is usually sealed off, so I don’t know how he got up there.
The man was wearing a black windbreaker and standing on the edge of the rooftop. He looked at the crowd below with a dazed look, as if he would fall down at any moment.
Sheng Ting frowned and called the hotel staff to explain the situation.
When the staff saw the man opposite, they looked a little flustered and quickly contacted the security team of the street and brought a loudspeaker.
Soon, people discovered the man upstairs. Such a thing happened on such a festive day. The crowd downstairs was in a panic and ran around in all directions, fearing that the man upstairs would fall down and hit them.
But the street is so small and already crowded, and now the crowd is in chaos, the situation is a little out of control.
Fortunately, a team of security patrol police arrived in time to help the crowd retreat to a safe area, leaving an area downstairs clear.
Someone has already called 119, and several security guards are maintaining order below.
Many enthusiastic people shouted at the man not to do anything stupid, but the man just stood there quietly as if he had no soul.
The firefighters hadn't arrived yet, and Hatsushimo was just looking at the man on the opposite building calmly. It wasn't until she saw a man in a jacket quietly go up to the rooftop that her pupils moved slightly.
As the man in the jacket got closer, everyone became nervous, hoping that he could quietly pull the man in the windbreaker back.
But the man in the windbreaker was very alert. When he turned around and saw the man in the jacket, his face was no longer gloomy and he began to show anger.
"Don't come over here! Leave me alone!"
He yelled so loud that many people could hear him, but the man in the jacket didn't want to scare him, so he lowered his voice so that others couldn't hear what they said.
Seeing the man in the windbreaker getting more and more excited, Chu Shuang clenched her hands on her knees tighter and stared at the opposite side.
The firefighters arrived quickly and deployed the rescue airbags downstairs.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the man in the windbreaker seemed to be irritated. He stopped pulling with the man in the jacket behind him, turned around and leaped forward.
The man in the jacket behind him saw that something was wrong and rushed over quickly.
Hatsushiro's pupils widened suddenly, and she felt suffocated for a moment.
There were screams from the crowd.
Then there was a loud thump, the sound of gravity hitting the rescue airbag.
